I don't mind the coal plants. I mind that the miners have such terrible working conditions....

And what about the pollution.

I live in NC six months of the year. The highest peaks which is known as high country are all burned out from the coal factories in West Virginia. The winds just bring the residue down and then all the trees on the mountain top look like they were had an atom bomb hit them.

WHAT to do Bob ?

>>Yeah - build all the solar you want. But stop the nut cases in your party who are stopping coal plants.<<

Bob -

I think we have enough coal plants already. I would rather see new wind and solar plants built, in large numbers. I'd also like to see lots and lots of residential solar and wind generating capacity added.

I think that's the way to move forward.
